Hi,
  I will like to know if it is possible to have 2 fdisk paritions (as seen by
DOS world) desinated for 386bsd. I have currently CP3544 HD with 150 MB for
DOS 6.0 and the rest for 386bsd. Apparently, the 386bsd boots from its own
dedicated partition. As I have just got a new HD for DOS, I would like to
replace the DOS partition with 386bsd partition for extra file system space.
Is it possible ? Since /dev/wd0 is already configured to recognize the other
partition of the 386bsd! Do I have to reinstall 386bsd from scratch and resize
the parition table to use whole disk ? Is there any other solution that can
get around this ?

  What I dont't plan to do is to use the new HD for 386bsd, so please don't
suggest that solution to me.

  Many thanks in advance!
